You could add them to the recommended garages in the appropriate section.

Hello Paul, Forgive my possible ignorance on this but, surely, the microphone is in your phone. The phone sends the signal via Bluetooth technology to the head unit. Or are you referring to the sound output from your caller ? That should be coming via your speakers.

If you fill it to point of fuel pump cut off, it is best not to brim it, and your gauge shows full; what is the issue ?

Lee, in the main, will also advise when to go with OEM parts and when economies can be made with factor parts.

News, but not particularly good. Snows of Exeter may work on your Toyota, the Paignton location will work on mine; but be prepared for main dealer prices. I was quoted about £800 with the water pump a few years ago.

Hello Ross, Welcome to the Forum. I expect Chris.ac will answer this.

Is it OEM or aftermarket ?

That unit looks a little too recent to be OEM equipment; nor is it branded. Do you know the make and model ?

Just check in the list of forums, top left of home page.

Hello Paul, Welcome to the Forum. There is a whole section on Insurance in this Forum. Plenty to read. Insurance cost 400 to 500pa. Make sure you have somewhere to get it swrviced.

You will need to inform your insurance company.

Hello Bektur, Welcome to the Forum. I moved this to the for sale section.

Hello Daniel, Welcome to the Forum.

I agree with Chris, I have an earlier model, but their is a key hole on the drivers side. If you have smart locking, and I think to do; there will not be any other key holes. Access is gained by the switches on the mechanical key, the switches on the smart key; and most configurations can be operated from within the vehicle. Have you changed the battery in your smart fob ? Do you have a replacement should you need it ?

Insurance prices should be decreasing (a little). Your premium with Admiral is OK, but somewhat higher than many in these pages. The Saga price is extremely silly. When i was with Saga there were multiple benefits with respect to overseas travel, but nothing that warrants that extraordinary quote.

Hello Gary and Sarah, Welcome to the Forum. There are currently no official meets being organized by The Alphard Club that I know of. Feel free to arrange a local meet through these pages.

Hello Phillip, Welcome to the Forum. Is this in the right section ? 'Wanted' may be more appropriate. Club Lounges are very rare and, I believe, possibly non-existent in Gen 1 vehicles.

I agree with Alex. This is a modification; temporary or otherwise. Your insurance company needs to be advised of ANY modifications. Non standard OEM fit wheels and tyre 'upgrades', suspension alterations, camper conversions (no matter how small), probably added cruise control etc, etc. Otherwise, you will provide your insurance company with a reason to invalidate your insurance (should they choose); especially if you are the cause of an accident. When I had a conversion my insurance company declined to insure the van (not refused). Imagine my situation if I had not declared the conversion and been involved in an accident !

Hello Michael, Welcome to the Forum. No, could be anything. Many Japanese owners add all sorts of gizmos (which are normally removed before export). Do you have driving lights fitted at the front ? I hope it isn't your rear fog light warning switch, as I doubt it complies with the MOT requirements.

Hi David. I suggest you call NorthStar Conversions and ask them who they use. Those charges are excessive, but if you go to a main dealer that is probably about what they normally charge.

What brand pads did you fit ?

Hi Chris, If you bought the van from New Acre recently you should ask them to replace the MAF for you (at their cost).

I expect Picasso will be able to help you with this.

Hello Tala, Welcome to the Forum.

As winter approaches, all (non-hybrid) Alphie owners need to ensure their starter batteries are in tip top condition and remain fully charged. Jump leads are cheap enough; I always carry mine just in case.
